Well if so I have to brag....I went to a neurologist back at the end of January. I've had bad headaches since I was young, but back in October, I started getting really bad ones, to the point where I felt like I probably had a brain tumor, I mean I got headaches everyday but I just dealt with it, because as usual I was always ignored by doctors. So when I started getting the severe one where I was convinced I had a tumor I bypassed my regular doctor, contacted a headache center in San Diego and got a recommendation for a top neurologist in MA that specializes in headaches his earliest appointment was in January. Got in to see him, spent nearly 2 hours with him, got prescribed some pretty big meds, been taking them and I have not had a headache since valentines day. I am in love with my neurologist, I cannot tell you, I go back next thursday and I am giving him the biggest kiss, he is the biggest life saver ever and the side effect to the drug is loss of appetite...HELLOOOOO LOSS OF APPETITE!!! !THANK YOU!!! LOL
Anyhow...if anyone is interested that gets bad migraines let me know.

Thanks for all that info. Yeah, a 2 hour appointment is good. Shows you they're being in depth. I wonder what I'd have. Did I say I had a CAT scan done? No abnormalities, so that's good. But never had an MRI. I doubt it'd freak me out. Depending on how long it is. lol.
Glad that you're feeling better though. I know how sucky headaches can be and how much they can interrupt daily life.
btw. I have an appt with an internal medicine specialist, do you think he's the type of doc to hit up about this? I'm going to him to try and get allergy tested. Just thought maybe I can kill two birds with one stone. KWIM?
ETA: how'd you get in touch with the Dr. Blumenfeld? did you just email him, or call the center? and did you use your medical insurance for your neurologist? btw, Dr. Blumenfeld is kinda cute. lol. I'd go kiss him too. Want me to pass it on for you? j/k. How did all this go down, basically? As we speak, I can feel my head start to hurt. :(
